Some shameless hypocrisy coming up this week, which, perversely, may indicate a real budget proposal is nigh.
Or certain Rs are just looking to get their hate on for civil society in new and ever more depraved ways.
Note: HHR refers to a hearing room in the House building; SHR refers to one in the Senate building.
Note2: Generally, I'll only specify bills that look to spread propaganda. Other bills may be more conventionally b, ad (think: corrupt or other misuses of public monies and/or authority). My recommendation is that if an agenda covers an area of interest to you, read the entire agenda.
Note3: Each chamber's respective Rules Committee meets on Monday, the House's in HHR4, generally at 1 p.m. and the Senate's in Senate Caucus Room 1, generally also at 1 p.m. Both committees serve as rubber stamps for bills leadership wants to be advanced and gatekeepers for measures that leadership wants stopped.
Note4: Meeting start times may be listed, but are flexible. Before journeying to the Capitol or viewing the meeting online, verify the start time.
Note5: Watch for strikers, or strike everything amendments. Those involve inserting language that replaces the entirety of a bill. Those can be introduced at any time and can make a previously harmless bill become a very bad one.
On Monday, 6/1

Joint Legislative Audit Committee meets at 9 a.m. in HHR1. On the agenda: no bills; six items related to special audits. Two of those items are about looking at the state's Child Care and Development Fund, which seems to be far more oversight for that than they give to ESAs.
On Tuesday, 6/2
-
Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Elder Abuse meets at 1 p.m. in SHR1. On the agenda: no bills, no presentations, just some public testimony at this point..
